About us

The St. Paul’s Foundation

Our mission is to transform our scholars’ lives with a world-class education giving them access to an excellent curriculum, outstanding pastoral support, within a safe and nurturing environment. Whilst our scholars will receive all of the advantages that St. Paul’s School has to offer, they will in turn enrich the school environment with their perspectives on life and achievements.

Transformation beyond the classroom

MARTINA OPARAOCHA
Martina Oparaocha, St. Paul’s Headteacher

“The Scholarship Programme enriches the entire school by strengthening a culture of merit, inclusion, and ambition. I am certain that all of our pupils are united by our values, guiding them to learn with courage, act with integrity, and lead with kindness in an ever-changing world.”

Ana Bido, foundation’s former scholar

“I am completely changed because of this school. I have had so many opportunities that in three years I never expected to have… This wonderful experience has completely changed my life.”

Analú, foundation’s scholar

“The whole family comes along with this change. As a young, Black person from the outskirts of the city, we carry a lot of people with us. I have several friends from my old school who couldn’t apply for the Selection Process due to age, but started learning English because of me.”

Alessandra e Florian Bartunek, current parents at St. Paul’s and donor of the foundation

“It’s a privilege to contribute to such a meaningful cause, knowing that together we are helping to shape the future for so many young people. We are excited to see what the future holds for these remarkable pupils.”
